Abstract: Vitamin D (Vitamine D), classically recognized as an important player in bone and phosphocalcic metabolism, has shown, through recent studies, its involvement in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in case of deficiency. The aim of this work is to describe the profile of vitamin D in a type 2 diabetic population and to correlate the vitamin D status with the different metabolic parameters in this population admitted in the University Hospital of Marrakech. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study of a population of type 2 diabetic patients, coming for a follow-up assessment of diabetes and having performed an evaluation of the level of 25 hydroxy vitamin D3 in blood. Demographic, clinical, evolutionary and biological data were collected. The mean of 25 (OH) vitamin D3 was 12.55 ± 8.14 ng / ml for the group, and was 13.15 ± 8.93 ng / ml for women and 11.82 ± 7.31 ng / ml for men. These patients were classified into three groups: Group 1: 25 (OH) D < 10 ng / ml objectified in 37 patients (44%); group 2: 25 (OH) D between 10 and < 29 ng / ml in 43 patients (51.2%) and group 3: 25 (OH) D > 30 ng / ml present in 4 patients in this population (4, 8%). Several studies have reported an association between vitamin D status and the development of type 2 diabetes. Experimental studies have suggested that vitamin D deficiency decreases insulin sensitivity, carbohydrate tolerance and β-pancreatic function. The data of this work underline the high frequency of vitamin D deficiency in the Moroccan population suffering from type 2 diabetes.Abstract: Vitamin D (Vitamine D), classically recognized as an important player in bone and phosphocalcic metabolism, has shown, through recent studies, its involvement in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in case of deficiency.

Abstract: The study’s aim is to evaluate the vaccination status against viral hepatitis B and the prevalence of HBs antigen in the medical staff of the University Hospital of Marrakech. This cross-sectional survey was conducted at the level of the various hospital services with the medical staff of Med VI University Hospital of Marrakech. A systematic search for the antigen /antibody pair level (Ag HBs/Ac antiHBs) and anti-nucleocapsid antibodies (Ac antiHBc) was performed in every person who participated in this study. A total of 172 doctors participated in the screening; the participation rate was 74%. 93% of the screened physicians were unaware of their serologic status with respect to the hepatitis B virus and 36% were not vaccinated against hepatitis B. The prevalence of HBsAg was 1.7% in our context with only one identified case of cure. As for the risk factors studied. In properly vaccinated doctors, 77% were immunized (≥100 IU / l) and this immunization rate was 8% in people who received 2 doses of vaccine. Health personnel constitute a population at risk for both infection and transmission of the Hepatitis B virus. Hence, raising staff awareness and introducing compulsory HBV vaccination for all health professionals is important.Abstract: The study’s aim is to evaluate the vaccination status against viral hepatitis B and the prevalence of HBs antigen in the medical staff of the University Hospital of Marrakech.
